It is a condition for your dependent to apply for a dependent visa under the study route. If your dependent is not eligible for that visa first then no way s/he can apply to be joined on the PSW. I will share with you that when I get but I think it was also a part of the application pack sent by my school.

Update
This section below speaks to the above - Dependent won't get a visa approved if main applicant is on a study visa that is less than 6 months. If you are in doubt, contact your school's Visa support team for clarification, they are the best to advise you on same.

What they mean is that the student must be on a course that is more than 6month, cus there are some degrees that aren't up to 6months, they did not say the dependent must apply 6months before the MA's studentship expires.

Ok like I suggested, contact your school's visa support for better clarification. If I stumble on the advise from my school, I will share wink

Wehdone sir and welcome back.

I'm running mad here.

I've spent 4 months in the country and my TransUnion credit score is still in the mid-500's.

My records are in the electoral register, have got 3 bank accounts that I run transactions through frequently.

My wife landed long before me and I recently got added to the tenancy agreement. I've tried to apply for the AmEx credit card advertised by @Solumtoya and my request got declined (I'm sure because of my low credit score). I'm using a pay-as-you go mobile line (not contract).

What else can I do to boost my credit score? Or at least how can I secure a credit card?

An aside, I tried to sign-up for Rebtel to be able to call home cheaply, but couldn't because they said they don't support EE lines. Please do you know any other network that I could sign on a contract with my low score?

Appreciate all your assistance and contributions on this thread. 🙌

Open loqbox account with my referral link below and start saving about £20 monthly for 6 months. This will serve as loan which will give you credit profile and increase your credit score

I think the 6 months is for BRP. BRP's are not given for any visa less than 6 months, so the dependant will not have a brp card if they are applying less than 6 months to the expiry of the Ma's visa, so they might find it difficult to get a job, open bank account, prove thier right to work etc

Wify's BRP was valid till May.
I applied to join her in February, got visa in February that was valid till September; came in March.
We then both applied for PSW together in May when her visa expired.

Don't know if this helps.

If your wife is the PA and her BRP is set to expire in May, then your visa will be valid till May. Dependent visa tenure ends same date as the primary applicant.

Kindly help clarify.

That is exactly what he is saying na, or can dependent go ahead of PA?
With his write up you should know his wife is the PA. He says that when it was MAY both of them now applied for the psw.
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by NnenaRita(m): 9:05pm On Mar 08, 2023
I think study end date is different from when your visa expires. There is usually an additional 4 months after. So I guess the wife's study end date was May but visa was valid till September.

Yeah thats true. Cus the date on brp is always the 4 month extra. So i am wondering why they gave him visa that lasts till sept when his wife's brp ends in may.

Maybe he got it mixed up. Let him clarify sha.
